Comment 1 Brian Evans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-02-02 23:49:07 UTC 
I can only reproduce when --config is the first or second option. If it is further down, it runs.
Comment 2 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-03-26 08:53:48 UTC 
I cannot reproduce with current git master. Please re-open if you are still able to reproduce.
